Tail Spin

Description

From a magician’s estate purchase. This appears to have been modified from the original but the workmanship is very good. The pictures have been laminated for protection. It’s in excellent pre-owned condition! Comes with instructions and all the required items. If you work with children you’ll have a lot of fun with this one.

Effect: The magician shows a picture of donkey but his tail is missing. The picture is placed into an envelope with a large window. A child pretends to throw the tail, and when the donkey is removed from the envelope the tail is seen to be stuck to his nose! His eyes are crossed and his ears bent back in surprise! The kids yell and scream! But, it’s not the helper’s fault as you know how stubborn donkeys can be! The donkey picture is put back into the envelope and the child is asked to try again. But, this time when the picture of the donkey is removed from the envelope it is seen that the tail is completely gone! Where did the tail go? The performer looks all around for it, and suddenly the kids start to yell and scream again because the tail is hanging out of the back of the magician’s pants! The children will go wild over this.

This great routine can be used in a variety of settings. It’s perfect for birthday parties, of course, but it works great in day care shows, library programs, and school assemblies.

The pictures measures 14-1/2′ long by 10-3/8″ tall.
